Poem
NO, IT WAS NOT PANAMA PETE THIS TIME She and I met at a bar so it’s very ironic That now I should require some pills and a tonic Just to forget what Joe the barkeep wants to know I simply suppose because business was slow So Joe told me about the Mrs. and four little kids Suffice it to say if he had auctioned them off they wouldn’t garner many bids Joey is what they called him but he looked more like a Joe I think Joey was joshing because he said “in your seat died Edgar Allen Poe I saw a picture of his wife holding a big fish Joey caught And the four little kids who need money to be educated and very well taught As I continued to forget what the barkeep wants to know I weep wretchedly whenever her tear drops flow Well Joe a few years ago I was her choice She had legs that don’t surrender and her name was Joyce So Joe told about his family at times when they rejoice And out of nowhere he says my body seems so frail And I told Joey perhaps it’s because I let another romance fail It always makes me think, Joey, I keep doing it so I can’t be very wise Because I’ve always maintained a pretty girl looks ugly when she cries I suppose it’s the fact that heartache should be my due But in my life, honey, that ain’t nothing new And besides baby, you had a choice as well as a voice So make it a double with a mug and Joe, you’re really kind Because you gave me something to mull over in my mind Perhaps I shouldn’t have left Amazing Amber behind © 2011.…Phreeppoetree
